CommodorePETCBM3008

The PET has a special place in the history of micro-computers, as it was one of the biggest sellers in the 1979 /1980 period, when computers were aimed at both the home and business market. Many people instantly recognise the PET as it stood out from the usual ' terminal plus box' computer.

The 3008 was a direct descendent of the 2001 (the German 3001 is in fact a rebadged 2001 with a different keyboard), has the same board as the 4000 series PETs but amazingly carries BASIC 2.0 and is apparently the identical dialect found in the VIC-20 and 64. The 3008 didn't last long, rapidly pulled for the expanded 3016 and 3032 which had 16K and 32K RAM respectively.
